Ziyech Linked to Turkish Club After Qatar Exit
Hakim Ziyech may be heading back to the Turkish Super League. Gençlerbirliği, one of the league's newly promoted sides, has reportedly submitted an offer to the Moroccan international. The 32-year-old winger was released by Galatasaray in January and failed to make an impact during a short stint with Qatar's Al-Duhail, where he was also dismissed within six months. Reports from Türkiye suggest Ziyech is facing tax-related complications, with his assets in the country potentially at risk. This cloud may affect his willingness to return, though Gençlerbirliği are still awaiting a response. Should the deal fall through, the Ankara-based club intends to pursue another high-profile signing. Ziyech, for his part, has made it clear: he has no interest in playing in the Arabian Gulf again. After his underwhelming spell in Qatar, the former Ajax and Chelsea playmaker is determined to revive his career in Europe – ideally with a side that offers regular football ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on home soil next December. According to Al Mountakhab, Ziyech turned down three lucrative offers from Gulf clubs and is currently in advanced talks with Fiorentina, as reported by Tutto Calcio . Despite a career dampened by injuries and inconsistency since leaving Ajax, Ziyech is reportedly targeting a return to the Netherlands or another top European league to rediscover his form – and potentially reclaim his place with the Atlas Lions.

David targeted by Al Qadsiah after Juventus turn to Osimhen
After Juventus turned to Victor Osimhen, now Al Qadsiah are reportedly pushing to sign free agent Jonathan David instead. The Bianconeri want a new centre-forward this summer and are trying to push Dusan Vlahovic towards the exit. ISTANBUL, TURKEY – MAY 18: Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray celebrates after scoring his team's first goal during the Turkish Super League match between Galatasaray and Kayserispor on May 18, 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey. (Photo by) After seemingly agreeing personal terms with Canada international David, last night it was reported they had resumed intensive negotiations with Osimhen's entourage instead. Advertisement He will be costly, especially as the €75m release clause at Napoli is only valid for clubs outside of Italy, so they'd have to negotiate directly with their Serie A rivals. Juventus risk losing David option BOLOGNA, ITALY – NOVEMBER 27: Jonathan David of LOSC Lille during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD5 match between Bologna FC 1909 and LOSC Lille at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on November 27, 2024 in Bologna, Italy. (Photo by) It would seem Juventus stepping away from David had a knock-on effect, as Marco Conterio of Tuttomercatoweb claims today that Al Qadsiah have started pushing harder to get the former Lille striker. They are ready to pay €15m in commission to his agent and a huge salary for the player, although the representative is reportedly asking for €25m. Al Qadsiah had already been heavily linked with Moise Kean, who has a €52m release clause at Fiorentina active from today, but the Italy international is not interested in a Saudi Pro League move right now.

Liverpool told to switch focus to 'perfect' transfer once Florian Wirtz deal completed
Liverpool saw transfer "deadline day" come and go without any agreement on Florian Wirtz. Fortunately, the next window was only a week away — and not only do the Reds expect to wrap up a deal for the Bayer Leverkusen star in due course, they could also be busy with further business. Advertisement Things certainly seem to be moving in the right direction with Wirtz. One of Arne Slot's camp has broken the collective silence for the first time, with Andy Robertson acknowledging that the playmaker is a "top player". And all reports indicate that Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are ironing out the finest details now. In an unrelated deal, but one which no doubt provides an incentive to work together toward a mutually beneficial outcome, the Bundesliga side is also taking an interest in Jarell Quansah. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez latest, Alexander-Arnold presentation READ MORE: Barcelona chief makes fresh transfer admission after Liverpool rebuffed Luis Diaz approach Advertisement He's one of numerous players who could end up leaving Anfield this summer. Harvey Elliott faces an uncertain future after a tough first campaign under Slot, while the same could be said of Darwin Nunez, Joe Gomez, and a couple of others. The departure of Nunez, in particular, could yet push Liverpool into the market for another marquee deal after Wirtz is wrapped up. While the German has played as a number nine, it's anticipated that he will arrive in order to add creativity a little further back, potentially still leaving Slot in need of a new forward. Nunez has been persistently linked with the Saudi league, which may yet give Liverpool an unlikely chance to recoup a significant chunk of its initial outlay. That would give the club some handy headroom for a second swing at finding the long-term solution at number nine, this time with Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards leading the process. Solid links have been reasonably thin on the ground. Hugo Ekitike's name has been mentioned more than once, while Julian Alvarez did the rounds about a month ago, but nothing concrete has emerged. Advertisement And now Ally McCoist has urged Liverpool to go in a different direction altogether. He has hailed Victor Osimhen as "absolutely perfect" for Slot's side. Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray gestures during the Turkish Super League match between Galatasaray and Kayserispor on May 18, 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey. -Credit:'I think Osimhen would be absolutely perfect at somewhere like Liverpool," McCoist eulogized on talkSPORT. "I think he'd be unbelievable at Liverpool." The Nigerian striker is fresh off the back of an unlikely loan spell at Galatasaray. Relations broke down with Napoli to such an extent that Osimhen seized one of the few remaining options late in the window last summer, but he still looks every inch the elite forward. Advertisement Unsurprisingly, he is widely expected to move on a permanent basis this summer. Saudi sides have taken an interest in him, too, but he is thought to prefer the Premier League. And GiveMeSport claims that Osimhen has been mentioned in a "high-level meeting" at Liverpool. However, the likeliest current outcome is that the 26-year-old elects to remain with Galatasaray. Meanwhile, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are all also looking to strengthen in the center-forward position. They may be contemplating giving Osimhen a route to the Premier League as well. So a deal that looks opportunistic (and apparently even "perfect") on its face may yet prove to be a little more complicated, especially once Osimhen's potential wage demands are factored in. But a striker of his caliber in front of Wirtz is certainly an appealing prospect — and with plenty of twists and turns expected once the second transfer window opens, it is sure to be an exciting summer at Liverpool.
